[BREAKING/UPDATE] Ladies' Code member EunB revealed to have passed away in a car accident + two members in critical condition

Some very sad news to report, YTN News has revealed that Ladies' Code's van slipped while driving down a rainy road, resulting in the tragic death of 22-year-old member, EunB.

At around 1:20 AM in South Korea, the girls' van ran into a protective wall in the vicinity of the Singal Intersection on the Yeongdong Expressway in the direction of Incheon.

As a result of the accident, EunB passed away after being moved to the nearby St. Vincent's Hospital while the remaining six passengers were injured and rushed to the hospital.

While the police are speculating they slipped because of the rainy road, they are currently investigating for more concrete details.

[UPDATE] As more news coverage is now surfacing in relation to this tragic accident, it has been revealed that two members, Sojung and RiSe, are currently in critical condition while the remaining two members and two stylists have sustained minor injuries.

Following the heartbreaking news of the car accident that took the life of Ladies’ Code member EunB, and resulted in the serious injuries of Sojung and Rise, the group’s agency, Polaris Entertainment has offered an official statement with details of the tragic accident:

“This is Polaris Entertainment.We are letting you know the current situation concerning Ladies’ Code.

Last night, after completing their schedule in Daegu, the vehicle carrying Ladies’ Code ran into a problem of the rear wheel falling off while on the way back to Seoul, at around 1:30 AM in Suwon. Due to the wheel coming off on the rainy road, the vehicle spun several times before crashing into a guardrail. As a result, member EunB grievously passed away.

Currently, Rise is in critical condition and Sojung is receiving treatment for the injuries she sustained. The other members who were also in the vehicle with the manager and stylist have no serious injuries.

The members will be transferred from Suwon to a hospital in Seoul today, but the location of the wake has not yet been decided [for EunB].

Our company employees are currently in an immense state of shock and are experiencing unspeakable sadness at the moment.

We offer our words of apology to the fans, as well as everyone who must have received a great shock. We ask that a lot of people will pray with us for the members to recover quickly.

We will deliver further details as they are known. Thank you.”

Earlier reports had stated that EunB, Sojung, and Rise were in the vehicle with the manager and stylist. However, it is now being reported that the other two members, Ashley and Zuny, were also aboard the same van, but have not sustained major injuries.

While Sojung appears to be in more stable condition now, it is being reported that Rise is still undergoing surgery after receiving trauma to her head. She is currently in the middle of a major procedure that has been ongoing for over seven hours since around 2 AM (KST) on September 3. As the surgery is still continuing, it is difficult to know the exact state of her condition at the moment.

That article was some time ago, so Rise at this time is out of surgery.

Reading on other forums and reddit, I dunno...things aren't looking good for Rise =\

Also, EunB apparently didn't have her seatbelt on so she ended up getting ejected from the vehicle

I heard about this not too long ago too and it's really a shame this had to happen when they've barely just gotten started. I can't imagine what the other girls are going through. Now every time I listen to "I'm Fine Thank You" it's really quite saddening...
